Nosebands

The noseband is a small but essential piece of equine tack, and is the part of the bridle that circles the horse’s nose and jaw. There are a variety of noseband styles available on the equestrian market, each serving a different purpose and exerting varying levels of control, to serve a range of riding styles and disciplines.

A crank noseband is popular for use in dressage and for use with double bridles, and features a tighter fit for greater control, encouraging the horse to keep its mouth closed. Both the drop noseband and the flash noseband are used in many disciplines, and share the purpose of preventing the horse from opening its mouth too far and also to stop the horse from crossing its jaw. A grackle noseband, popular in show jumping and eventing, also reminds the horse to keep its mouth closed, and puts pressure on the horse’s nose for greater control.

Here at Unicorn Saddlery, we have an extensive selection of nosebands in many different styles, to serve a variety of purposes. There are many different types of noseband available within our collection, including the most common plain or cavesson noseband, flash nosebands, drop nosebands, crank nosebands, kineton nosebands and grackle nosebands. All of the products within our range have been carefully selected for their quality, and are provided by some of the leading tack manufacturers on the equestrian market, including Dever, Xpert and NuuMed.
